SIX RULES FOR SPORTSMEN 
1. Be a real sportsman.—There is more honor in giving 
the game a square deal than in getting the limit. 
2. Make sure it’s a buck.—If you can’t see his horns— 
she hasn’t got any. 
3. Help to enforce the game law.—Game and fish are 
public property—only a game hog will take more 
than his fair and legal share. Violations should be 
reported to the nearest deputy warden, forest ranger, or 
game protective association. 
4. Respect the ranchman’s property.—He regards the 
man who leaves his gates open, cuts his fences, disturbs 
his live stock, or shoots near his dwellings, as an outlaw. 
Put yourself in his place. 
5. Be careful with your camp fire and matches.—One 
tree will make a million matches; one match can burn 
a million trees. 
6. Leave a clean camp and a clean record.—Unburied 
garbage, crippled game, and broken laws are poor 
monuments for a sportsman to leave behind him. 
If you cut the trees around the camping 
ground, you will soon be camping on a wood- 
pile instead of in a cool, clean Forest.

SIX RULES FOR PREVENTION OF FIRES 
Obtain a camp-fire permit before starting on your trip. It is required 
by Forest regulations and the State law. 
1. Matches.—Be sure your match is out. Break it in 
two before you throw it away. 
2. Tobacco.—Throw pipe ashes and cigar or cigarette 
stumps in the dust of the road and stamp or pinch out 
the fire before leaving them. Don’t throw them into 
brush, leaves, or needles. 
Build it 
in the open, not against a tree or log or near brush. 
3. Making camp.—Build a small camp fire. 
Scrape away the trash from around it. 
4. Leaving camp.-—Never leave a camp fire, even for 
a short time, without quenching it with water and earth. 
5. Bonfires.—Never build bonfires in windy weather 
or where there is the slightest danger of their escaping 
from control. Don’t make them larger than vou need.

6. lighting fires.—If you find a fire, try to put it out. 
If you can’t, get word of it to the nearest U. S. Forest 
ranger or State fire warden at once. Keep in touch 
with the rangers. 
It’s your National Forest and your play- 
ground—help protect it from fire.
